동맥관개존증은 출생 후에도 폐동맥과 하행대동맥 사이에 동맥관이 지속적으로 열려 있는 선천성 심장질환이다. 동맥관개존증은 외과적인 결찰술로 폐쇄할 수 있지만, 다양한 도구를 이용한 동맥관개존증의 중재적 치료술은 비침습적인 치료과정과 시술 후 관리의 최소화의 이유로 빠르게 대체되고 있다. 소형품종에서의 중재적인 치료술은 동맥의 크기가 작기 때문에 혈관으로의 접근성이 주요한 문제점이 된다. 비록 경정맥을 이용한 정맥 접근법이 개발되었으나 이 기술은 동맥관에 폐색장치를 장착시키기 위해서 숙달된 기술이 필요하며, 폐색 장치 (색전 코일이나 혈관폐색장치)가 예기치 않게 잘못 장착될 위험성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 우리는 이번 연구에서 소형품종 (체중3 kg미만)에서 대퇴동맥 접근을 통한 미니 혈관카테타를 이용한 변형된 코일 색전법을 개발하였다. 이러한 변형된 방법을 통하여 우리는 좌우 단락된 동맥관개존증을 가진 두마리의 소형품종 (말티즈)을 성공적으로 치료하였다.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate variations in the immunophysiological responses to exercise-induced stress in Jeju and Thoroughbred horses. Methods: Blood samples were collected from the jugular veins of adult Jeju (n = 5) and Thoroughbred (n = 5) horses before and after 30 min of exercise. The hematological, biochemical, and immunological profiles of the blood samples were analyzed. Blood smears were stained and observed under a microscope. The concentration of cell-free (cf) DNA in the plasma was determined using real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and polymorphonuclear cells were separated using Polymorphprep, and the expression of various stress-related and chemokine receptor genes was measured using reverse transcriptase (RT) and real-time PCR. Results: After exercise, Jeju and Thoroughbred horses displayed stress responses with significantly increased rectal temperatures, cortisol levels, and muscle catabolism-associated metabolites. Red blood cell indices were significantly higher in Thoroughbred horses than in Jeju horses after exercise. In addition, exercise-induced stress triggered the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and reduced platelet counts in Jeju horses but not in Thoroughbred horses. Heat shock protein 72 and heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 6 expression is rapidly modulated in response to exercise-induced stress in the PBMCs of Jeju horses. The expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 in PBMCs was higher in Thoroughbred horses than in Jeju horses after exercise. Conclusion: In summary, the different immunophysiological responses of Jeju and Thoroughbred horses explain the differences in the physiological and anatomical properties of the two breeds. The physiology of Thoroughbred horses makes them suitable for racing as they are less sensitive to exercise-induced stress compared to that of Jeju horses. This study provides a basis for investigating the link between exercise-induced stresses and the physiological alteration of horses. Hence, our findings show that some of assessed parameters could be used to determine the endurance performance of horses.

배경: 혈관내막과다증식은 혈관평활근세포가 내막에서 과다증식하여 나타나며, epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)는 혈관평활근세포의 증식을 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 EGCG는 혈관내막과다증식을 억제할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 대상 및 방법: 다른 농도의 EGCG를 포함한 배양 배지에서 인간제대정 맥내피세포(HUVEC)와 쥐대동맥평활근세포(RASMC)를 배양하고, 세포증식과 이동속도를 측정하였다. 20마리의 개의 양측 경동맥에 자가경정맥을 이식하였으며, 실험군(n=10)에 대해서는 정맥도관을 이식 전 30분간 EGCG용액에 보관하였으며, 이식 후 300mM의 EGCG를 혈관주위에 도포하였다. 6주 후에 경정맥이식편의 내막과 중간막의 두께를 측정하였다. 결과: 내피세포와 혈관평활근세포의 증식은 EGCG에 의해 억제되었다. 혈관평활근세포의 이동성은 EGCG에 의해 억제되었으나, 내피세포의 이동성은 영향을 받지 않았다. 동물실험 결과 대조군에 비해 EGCG군에서 내막의 두께가 얇았으며(p<0.05), 중간막의 두께는 두 군간에 차이가 얼었고, 내막/중간막의 두께비는 EGCG군에서 낮게 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 결론: EGCG는 혈관수술 후 혈관내막과다증식을 억제하는 효과가 있으며, 이는 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동을 억제하여 효과를 나타낸다고 생각된다. 따라서 EGCG는 혈관내막과다증식을 예방하는 치료에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Autologous vessels remain the gold standard for vascular grafts in microanastomoses. However, they are sometimes unavailable and have a limited long - term patency. Synthetic vessels have high success rates in large - diameter reconstructions but failed when used as small - diameter grafts due to graft occlusion. It has been proved that endothelial cell seeding improves prosthesis performance and long - term patency. Among polyurethane, PET and ePTFE, polyurethane has the best affinity to endothelial cells and mechanical properties closest to human vessels. We examined the ability of endothelial cells to attach to a polyurethane graft manufactured by the electrospinning method. Methods: Endothelial cells, which were cultured from porcine internal jugular veins, were attached to polyurethane grafts with an internal diameter of 3 mm. The same cells were attached to allogeneic decellularized porcine internal carotid artery grafts as controls. Both of the 10 mm - long grafts were exposed to endothelial cells in a well for 1 hour. Each well contained $2{\times}10^5$ endothelial cells. The graft materials were rotated through 90 degrees every 15 minutes in order to minimize the effect of gravity. The extent of cell attachment was examined with the MTT assay. Results: The MTT assay showed good incorporation of endothelial cells into both grafts. For the evaluation of affinity, the number of attached cells was counted at 10 fields of microscopic examination with ${\times}40$ magnification. Endothelial cells adhered more to polyurethane grafts (mean, $127.4{\pm}6.2cells$) compared to porcine artery grafts (mean $45.8{\pm}5.1cells$)(p<0.05,Mann - Whitney test). Conclusion: In this study, we attached porcine endothelial cells to polyurethane grafts, manufactured by electrospinning. The grafts exhibited a better affinity to endothelial cells than allogeneic decellularized porcine internal carotid artery grafts. It is suggested that the time required for endothelial cells to attach to decellulized artery grafts may be longer than that which is required for attachment to polyurethane grafts.

Two field experiments were conducted to improve the conception rate of Hanwoo cow. The first experiment aimed to investigate the physiological condition of Hanwoo cows on estrus, including metabolic profiles and body condition score (BCS). The second experiment investigated the effect of a novel estrus detector on the artificial insemination (AI) conception rate for Hanwoo cows. For the first experiment, 80 Hanwoo cows (2.5 ± 0.10 of parity), approximately one month before estrus, were housed in 16 pens and offered the experimental diets twice daily with free water access. The BCS were recorded, and blood was collected from the jugular veins just before AI. The collected blood was used to measure physiological conditions, such as metabolite and hormone levels. For the second experiment, each cow was equipped with a neck-mounted estrus detector collar, which had a sensor connected through the internet. Approximately one month before estrus, three hundred sixty Hanwoo cows (2.4 ± 0.21 of parity) were assigned into groups with or without W-Tag collar treatments. The animals were managed the same as in the first experiment. The pregnancy rate reached 55% in the first experiment. The concentration of luteinizing hormone (LH) was higher (p < 0.012; 1.56 vs. 1.08 ng/mL) in cows that were not pregnant (NPG) than in cows that were pregnant (PG) after AI. The BCS and other concentrations of metabolites and hormones in the blood were not different in both NPG and PG cows. The ranges of estrogen, LH, and follicle-stimulating hormone for PG cows were 11.9 to 39.0 pg/mL, < 0.25 to 1.98 ng/mL, and < 0.50 to 0.82 ng/mL, respectively. In the second experiment, cows with the estrus detector had lower days open (p < 0.001; 78.1 vs. 84.8 d), insemination frequency (p < 0.001; 1.26 vs. 2.52), and return of estrus (p < 0.001; 70.9 vs. 79.1 d) than those in cows without the estrus detector. In conclusion, the present study indicated that lower LH concentration just before AI potentially increased the pregnancy rate of Hanwoo cows. Furthermore, the application of estrus detectors to Hanwoo cows could improve the conception success rate for AI.

This experiment was carried out to study on changing phases of the concentrations of serum testosterone and metabolites in the various grwoing stages of male pigs. The eight males were used to obtain serial blood samples at a, pp.oximately 20kg body weight intervals from birth to 130kg body weight. The blood samples were taken from the jugular veins and serum was stored at -20$^{\circ}C$ until assay. Testosterone concentrations in the serum were analyzed by radioimmunoassay. The result obtained are as follows: 1. Serum testosterone concentrations were elevated at birth and were reached a maximum level between 50 and 70kg body weight, which was when sexual maturity was reached. 2. Calcium values did not vary a, pp.eciably with body weight, and ranged from 9.6${\pm}$0.6 to 11.9${\pm}$0.8mg/100$m\ell$. Potassium and sodium concentrations ranged from 38.5${\pm}$2.9 and 233.9${\pm}$2.1mg/100$m\ell$ to 64.2${\pm}$6.5 and 269.1${\pm}$9.5mg/100$m\ell$, respectively. Magnesium values dro, pp.d at birth and then rose to peak at 15kg of body weight. Iron concentrations was 0.12${\pm}$0.02mg/100$m\ell$ at birth, rose to 0.20${\pm}$0.04mg/100$m\ell$ at 15kg of body weight and then gradually increased to 0.29${\pm}$0.04mg/100$m\ell$ at 30kg of body weight. Serum zinc concentrations rose from a low of 56${\pm}$3.3mg/100$m\ell$ at birth to a high of 83.3${\pm}$3.4mcg/100$m\ell$ at 15kg of body weight. Co, pp.r values rose from a low of 25${\pm}$2.5mcg/100$m\ell$ at birth to a high of 183${\pm}$4.3mcg/100$m\ell$ at 15kg of body weight. 3. Serum cholesterol concenrtration did not vary a, pp.eciably with body weight, and ranged from 90.5${\pm}$6.0mg/100$m\ell$ to 95.0${\pm}$6.3mg/100$m\ell$. Glucose concentrations ranged from 80.5${\pm}$1.2mg/100$m\ell$ to 108.7${\pm}$8.4mg/100$m\ell$. Serum total protein rose from alow of 2.7${\pm}$0.8mg/100$m\ell$ at birth to a rapidly high of 4.3${\pm}$0.1mg/100$m\ell$ at 15kg of body weight and then gradually increased to 7.3${\pm}$0.4mg/100$m\ell$ at 130kg of body weight. Serum albumin values ranged from 0.5${\pm}$0.1$m\ell$ to 3.0${\pm}$0.3mg/100$m\ell$. 4. The total concentrations of essential/nonessential amino acid were 944.7mg/100$m\ell$ and 934.4mg/100$m\ell$ at birth, respectively. The values of essential/nonessential amino acid gradually rose from a low level at birth to a high level at 130kg of body weight. The total concentrations of essential/non-essential amino acid ratios remained from birth to 130kg of body weight.

미성숙 래트의 외경정맥에 카테타를 장착하고, 다음날(28일령) 대조군에는 4IU, 다배란처치군에는 20IU의 PMSG를 피하 주사하였다. 각 실험동물은 혈중의 LH농도 변화를 측정하기 위하여 PMSG 투여직전(0시간), 투여후 12시간, 그 이후 6시간 간격으로 혈액을 채취하고 72시간에 희생시켰다. 그 결과 다배란용량의 PMSG 투여는 먼저 배란반응을 대조군에 비하여 4.0배나 현저하게(P<0.05) 증가시켰다. 또한 난관으로부터 회수된 다배란난자는 상당히 다른 감수분열상의 핵성숙도를 나타내었는데, 즉 prophase I이 14.7%, anaphase I이 36.2%, telophase I이 10.3%, metaphase I/II가 32.4%이었다. 그러나 대조군의 래트에서는 대다수(94.0%)의 난자가 한결같이 metaphase II상을 보였다. 그리고 혈청 LH농도는 radioimmunoassay(RIA)에 의하여 결정되었는데, 먼저 두군 모두 두개의 분명한 peak을 가진 경시적 변화관계를 보였다. 즉 이들 두군에 있어서 LH농도변화는 0-18시간대에 처음으로 완만한 증가와 54-60시간대에 두번째의 급격한 증가(surge)를 보였다. 그러나 두군간에 LH농도의 크기는 현저하게 달라, 다배란처치군의 동물에 있어서는 두번째의 LH peak에 앞서 전반적인 LH농도가 대조군보다 현저하게(P<0.001) 높았으나, FMSG 투여후 60시간에 일어나는 peak에 있어서는 LH농도가 대조군보다 현저하게(P<0.001) 54%나 낮았다. 덧붙여 두 peak간의 증가폭은 대조군에 비하여 다배란처치군에서 훨씬 낮았다. 다배란래트에 있어서 54시간 이전에 최초로 연속적인 증가를 보인 고농도의 혈청 LH는 실제적으로 투여된 PMSG와 측정시의 LH항체와의 교차반응(cross-reaction)에 의한 결과로 판명되었고, 한편 54시간과 60시간에 있어서 두번째로 급격한 증가를 보인 혈청 LH는 주로 뇌하수체로부터 분비되는 내재성 LH surge에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과는 PMSG투여된 래트에 있어서 혈청 LH의 경시적인 변화상 및 그 특징을 정의한다. 그리고 전체적인 연구결과는 첫째, 다배란용량의 PMSG투여에 따른 배란반응의 증가가 주로 PMSG 자체에 함유된 고나도트로핀 작용과 연관이 있고, 둘째, 미성숙 또는 부동기적 핵성숙을 보이는 다배란난자의 회수는 최초의 혈청 LH의 연속적인 증가 및 이의 연이은 감퇴로 특징지워지는 LH활동도의 비정상적 혈중변화에 기인함을 시사한다.
